Step 1

Prepare a 8x8inch pan with parchment paper or butter.

Step 2

Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, simmer the butter while stirring constantly. When butter has browned it should smell fragrant and have light brown flecks. Set aside the butter to cool.

Step 4

Once cooled, in a large bowl, mix together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Crack in both eggs and whisk until very pale and the mixture has thickened slightly. Add black sesame paste and mix until combined.

Step 5

Add dry ingredients to the wet and then fold in chopped chocolate. Press batter into a prepared pan. Optionally, add spoonfuls of black sesame paste to the top and swirl with a chopstick/toothpick.

Step 6

Bake at 180C (350F) for 33min. Allow to cool completely before removing the brownie from the pan. Slice and enjoy!
